Long-Term Care

The UVA Transitional Care Hospital is the first long-term acute care hospital (LTAC) in the Charlottesville area. We specialize in treating individuals with serious medical conditions that require a longer length of stay (25-28 days on average) than is standard at a typical acute care hospital.

Long-Term Care: A Definition

Most patients in our facility include those who need weaning from ventilators, have complex wounds or have multiple complex medical issues that require daily nursing, therapy, nutritional and physician care.

Patients are medically stable but are too ill to be discharged home, to a nursing facility or an acute care rehabilitation facility.

Being part of the UVA Health System allows us to provide these patients full access to a wide range of clinical specialties, the latest technology, expertise and services.
